Design and Looks
The phone measures 108.8x46.2x11.7 mm which gives a comfortable handling with the handset. The handset gives a solid feel in the hand and can easily dive into any small pockets.
The display of the phone is striking and it passes sunlight eligibility without any glitches. The QVGA screen can display up to 16M colors on a 2.2" diagonal.
The display has rocker-styled knobs on both sides of the D-pad to accommodate the soft keys and the Call and End buttons.
The front has a slight curve at the bottom, which raises the end row of the keypad slightly. This makes keys a bit harder to press, but it's nothing major.
The star and hash key are smaller and slightly less comfortable but that seems a sacrifice to the curvy styling of the device. Otherwise, the keys are well defined and solid to press.
An integrated 3.2 megapixel camera comes with a dual LED flash & a digital zoom function. The built in flash comes with three setting modes which include an automatic setting, on & off setting. The digital zoom is an eight times digital zoom & the camera has an auto focus feature which will automatically provide the user with a well focused image each time a picture is captured.
The user can listen to all the latest music & news by using the FM radio complete with a radio data system. The user can enjoy listening to ringtones in polyphonic, MP3, AAC & video format ringtones. A built in music player allows the user to transfer or download their favorites music which can be stored on the phones memory & played when the user feels the need for a fun music experience. The music player supports MP3, AAC, AAC+, eAAC+, H263 & H264 music format.
The phone is able to transfer data, music & picture files to other compatible devices including a PC, laptop or printer by using a USB cabled connection or a Bluetooth wireless connection between the Nokia 6303 Classic & other devices. This mobile phone supports EDGE technology & GPRS which allows the user to experience high speed data transfer rates on the 6303 Classic.
The browser experience on the phone is normal and the user can browse HTML, XHTML & WML Web browsing on their mobile phone complete with a Nokia mobile search. It also supports email service with IMAP, POP and SMTP.
Overall the phone seems to be a classic stable phone without any stylish appeals but serves the regular user with a balanced features and support. But it remains to be seen as how it fares up in the market as the mid-size market for such phones are already saturating with many brands raising their stakes.
